Can It Get Any Worse? Why Yes It Can.

This morning TOYH went over to Carolyn's to let the dog out and discovered that the house had been burglarized overnight. A first floor window had been left unlocked and that was all that was needed. As far as we can tell, nothing of great monetary value was taken, but a violin with great sentimental value was. I stuck around to walk the cops throught the mess and ended up spending more time on my cell phone today than I have for all the previous months of the year. This whole situation is very, very wearying for me and TOYH. The latest medical reports we have heard are not so encouraging. Matthew is having a very hard time keeping together emotionally down there in C.R. Carolyn just arrived last night and I'm sure she's going through the same thing as Matthew. Then crap like this burglary happens and we end up being involved in trying to sort out the mess. By no means are we the only ones who are doing things in Carolyn's absence. It's just that our proximity to Carolyn and her house put us at ground zero. We're very, very tired.
